Hey all, so im looking to assemble myself a new gaming rig, as my old laptop struggles at the best of times. Ive looked around and decided roughly on the parts, but my main concern is whether or not the parts will work together. I havnt really assembled one from scratch before and I dont want to screw it up. If anyone could just look through my list and let me know if ive missed out on anything or made any mistakes, id thoroughly appreciate it

The DirectCU II GPU cooler takes up 2 and a half slots, but you're O.K., because that motherboard has 2 empty slots between the main PCI-E slots.

That motherboard has an 1155 CPU socket. The CPU you chose is an 1155 one, but you don't really need an i7 for gaming. A high-end i5 is enough for any game. If you want to go for an i7 and you have the money, why not?

There really is nothing to do with 16 GB's if RAM. 8 should be enough for almost anything. But again, if you want it, why not?

The SSD should DEFINITELY be no less than 120 GB's. The operating system shouldn't fill a 60 GB one, but a lot of other programs don't let you choose where to install them, so it's better to be safe than sorry. I've seen several 60 GB SSD owners complaining about this and having to switch to a bigger one.

That PSU isn't good enough. I just read somewhere that it doesn't have an "80+" certification. Like "80+ Silver" or something.

Oh and games need a high-end GPU more than they need a high-end CPU, so you'd definitely be better off with a better GPU and an i5.
